The shooting took place about 4.5 miles (7.2 kilometers) north of where an immigration agent fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7. The judge is also handling a separate lawsuit challenging the tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal officers when they encounter protesters and observers.
